Objective

This Horizon Europe grant is to be understood within a wider context on EUSST, where other grants are being executed simultaneously with the common objective of improving the EU autonomy on Space Surveillance and Tracking.The specific objectives of the HE_EUSST_MS_TOP1 action have been defined considering the specific objectives defined in the Work Programme:* Keep the knowledge and capabilities of Europe on the Space Surveillance and Tracking domain at the leading edge.* Adapt, improve and evolve the current EUSST initial services (Collision Avoidance; Fragmentation; Re-entry) portfolio to future user needs and space environment.* Improve the overall performance of the EUSST services and ensure, in the long-term, a high level of performance and appropriate autonomy at Union level.* Identify and define new missions and services (e.g. debris mitigation; debris remediation).* Explore the implementation of new services, in complement of the three existing ones.* Support the pre-developments and end-to-end early demonstration of new SST services.The state of the art on the topic can be summarized as the output of the finished 2-3SST2018-20 and the 6 grants currently ongoing, in particular, EUSST2023-25 and HE TOP1 corresponding to Work Programme 21-22.
